So, when it comes to your beauty care products, the magic rule of thumb is the first 5 ingredients are the ones that matter the most. After the fifth ingredient everything else is probably below the 1% line. This is where a lot of “questionable and obscure” ingredients hide.

What? 1% line?  What the heck is that?

Simply put, any ingredient that is less than 1% of the total recipe can be listed in any order.  This is a great marketing ploy and a way companies can make you believe the ingredients are “better” than they really are.

How to find the 1% line?

Hey beautiful. 

Are you feeling like a Clean Beauty Snob (CBS) yet?

Today’s lesson is going to open your eyes to what clean really means.

Natural sounds healthy right?  But when you take a closer look, does natural mean toxin-free? 

Not when you are a CBS.

You take the time to eat healthy, workout, and you do your research to avoid toxins and chemicals in your skincare. You consider yourself “health-conscious” because you “woke up” to the lies of Big Cosmo... but what if I told you Big Cosmo might have you duped yet again!

It’s an infuriating thought – particularly if you’ve gone to the trouble of sourcing natural skincare products free from a range of toxins that can be harmful to your health.

I am here to tell you that your “natural” skincare might be polluted with BPA, phthalates, and more..

Plastic containers leach phthalates into your products... we know that. It has been proven. How much you absorb and the devasting and damaging effects they have on your health are unknown, yet it is 100% preventable. This is why you must pay attention to what your skincare is contained in.

Lately, I have been secretly asking people to tell me about their skin… I want to understand what most women between the ages of 20-110 are dealing with.

The overwhelming response has been “my skin is so sensitive!”
There it was… sensitive skin.

I remember the days when my skin was “sensitive”.
If this sounds like you, keep reading…

From its warm, spicy flavor and fragrance to its numerous health benefits, it's clear to see why clove bud oil has been so popular for thousands of years. From fighting cavities and curtailing toothaches to banishing breakouts and boosting your mood, clove bud essential oil is a simple way to upgrade your self-care routine.

Water-FREE skincare is a must! It doesn’t matter if you have sensitive, dry, oily, combination, acne-prone, or all of the above skin!

Water-based skincare will not make your skin healthy, bouncy, or vibrant.  It will definitely make it appear older looking, wrinkled, thin, and even congested or frustrated.

Believe it or not, the only skin type I believe in is “healthy skin”. I believe all others (oily, dry, combination) are made up by the skincare industry because of the harsh ingredients they possess - to get us to purchase more products. (More on this later)
